Lindsey Hunter averaged more than 20 ppg in each of his three seasons at Jackson State.

Before he started his two-decade long NBA playing and coaching career, Lindsey Hunter honed his basketball skills by terrorizing the SWAC. The former Jackson State guard is being honored by his alma mater on this weekend as one of 13 inductees into the JSU Hall of Fame.
